When placing an item for sale in the marketplace, the initial cursor position is on the “Cancel” button.

When using the text command “/action(/ac” or “/petaction(/pac)”, if a target character is specified, but that target character is not present, the game will automatically select a viable target and carry out the command.
* With this current hotfix, if the specified target is not present, the error message “The target name you have selected is invalid” will display and the action will not be carried out.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Hotfixes (Mar. 10)

A countermeasure has been implemented to prevent heavy load of the servers to generate issues.

The following adjustments have been made to the ready check feature.

Players can no longer use the ready check if they are the focus of a monster’s enmity. If another party member who is not the focus of enmity initiates a ready check, the ready check confirmation answer for the player who is the focus of enmity will automatically be submitted as “No.”

The name of the player who initiates the ready check will now be displayed on-screen and in the chat logs.

A “Respond Later” button has been added. When this option is selected, the player can place a temporary hold on answering the ready check confirmation. To submit an answer after placing a hold, selecting “Ready Check” from the social menu will re-open the ready check confirmation dialog box. If the player is still on the “Respond Later” status after the 30-second confirmation period elapses, that player’s answer will be automatically submitted as “No.”

The window will no longer automatically reappear after the ready check has been selected.

The following issues have been addressed.

The level of the monster “Plasmoid” in the “Outer La Noscea” area was incorrect.
